1Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.[#1Co 1:10; 2Co 10:2; Eph 4:1; 1Pt 2:11; #Rm 6:13,16,19; 1Co 6:20; Heb 13:15; 1Pt 2:5; #Or your reasonable service]
2Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.[#1Pt 1:14; #Mt 13:22; Gl 1:4; 1Jn 2:15; #Eph 4:23; Ti 3:5; #Eph 5:10,17; Col 1:9]
3For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.[#Rm 1:5; 15:15; 1Co 3:10; 15:10; Gl 2:9; Eph 3:7-8; #Rm 11:20; #1Co 7:17; 2Co 10:13; Eph 4:7; 1Pt 4:11]
4Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,[#1Co 12:12-14; Eph 4:4,16]
5in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.[#1Co 10:17,23; #1Co 12:20,27; Eph 4:12,25]
6According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:[#1Co 7:7; 12:4; 1Pt 4:10-11]
If prophecy,
use it according to the standard of one’s faith;
7if service, in service;[#Ac 6:1; 1Co 12:28]
if teaching, in teaching;
8if exhorting, in exhortation;[#Ac 4:36; 11:23; 13:15]
giving, with generosity;
leading, with diligence;
showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
9Love must be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.[#2Co 6:6; 1Tm 1:5; #1Th 5:21-22]
10Show family affection to one another with brotherly love. Outdo one another in showing honor.[#Jn 13:34; 1Th 4:9; Heb 13:1; 2Pt 1:7; #Rm 13:7; Php 2:3; 1Pt 2:17]
11Do not lack diligence; be fervent in spirit; serve the Lord.[#Ac 18:25; #Ac 20:19]
12Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.[#Rm 5:2; #Heb 10:32,36; #Ac 1:14]
13Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality.[#Rm 15:25; 1Co 16:15; 2Co 9:1; Heb 6:10; #Mt 25:35; 1Tm 3:2]
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.[#Mt 5:44; Lk 6:22; 1Co 4:12]
15Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.[#Job 30:25; Heb 13:3]
16Be in agreement with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.[#Rm 15:5; 2Co 13:11; Php 2:2; 4:2; 1Pt 3:8; #Rm 11:20; #Rm 11:25; Pr 3:7]
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Try to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.[#Pr 20:22; 24:29; #2Co 8:21]
18If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.[#Mk 9:50; Rm 14:19]
19Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay, says the Lord.[#Lit the; #Dt 32:35; Ps 94:1; 1Th 4:6; Heb 10:30; #Dt 32:35]
20But
If your enemy is hungry, feed him.
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
For in so doing
you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.
21Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
